Why do Ku Klux Klan members cover their faces?
well to be honest,technically their would not be any KKK, if they
didnt hide there identity,because they would all be killed if they show there face,
but also because they worthles and have nothing on this planet anymore,so they just want to take it out on the non whites,which is stupid,my question for KKK would be,if they really believe in racism and WS,then why don't they show there face,in public
The group of KKK has ended, but their are still a few people who believe in the KKK ways. They just have no way to put their beliefs into action because we are now all considered equal. Sadly, somebody, somewhere, will always probly believe in the KKK ways.
What are the origins of the Ku Klux Klan?
The first branch of the Ku Klux Klan was established in Pulaski, Tennessee, in May, 1866. A year later a general organization of local Klan's was established in Nashville in April, 1867. Most of the leaders were former members of the Confederate Army and the first Grand Wizard was Nathan Forrest, an outstanding general during the American Civil War. During the next two years they terrorised and killed black Americans, sympathetic whites and immigrants, who they blamed for the election of Radical Republicans. Between 1868 and 1870 the Ku Klux Klan played an important role in restoring white rule in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. At first the main objective of white supremacy organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan was to stop black people from voting. After white governments had been established in the South the Ku Klux Klan continued to undermine the power of blacks. Successful black business's were attacked and any attempt to form black protection groups such as trade unions was quickly dealt with. Eventually the Klan targeted anyone they disliked - Jews, Catholics etc.
What year was the ku klux klan was organized?
Ku Klux Klan is the name of three distinct past and present far-right Christian terrorist organizations in the United States, which have advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, anti-immigration and anti-communism. The first Ku Klux Klan was an organization that thrived in the South during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War. The second was a nationwide organization that flourished after World War I. Subsequent groups calling themselves the Ku Klux Klan sprang up in much of the South after World War II and in response to civil-rights activity during the 1960s.
The original Ku Klux Klan was organized by ex-Confederate elements to oppose the Reconstruction policies of the radical Republican Congress and to maintain "white supremacy." It was organized at Pulaski, Tenn., in May, 1866.

What effect did the KKK have on reconstruction?
The original Ku Klux Klan formed out of the disbanded confederate army and they became a resistance force against federal control of southern land. Formed in desperation, they often resorted to violence and intimidation tactics resulting in the infamous lynchings that became quite common in the 1870's South. Contrary to popular belief, the original Ku Klux Klan was more focused on the intimidation of unfavorable politics rather than other races, and would commonly lynch white people who supported the Republican party as well as blacks.

A bunch of angry pissed off white hicks, what do you think?
Did the KKK receive funding from the Democratic Party?
One answer:
While some Republicans like to advance this assertion, the sad truth is that both political parties had members who were involved in the growth of the Klan, and the KKK was soon embraced by influential Republicans and Democrats alike. It is certainly true that many of the original members, including its first leader, Nathan Bedford Forrest, were southern Democrats who were affiliated with the Confederacy and upset that the south had lost the Civil War. But it is also true that some members, even in those early years, were white Republicans who objected to blacks having civil rights. And during the Klan's resurgence in the early 1900s, some of its most devoted members came from both parties; Republicans and Democrats alike joined because they held either anti-black, anti-Jewish, anti-immigrant, or anti-Catholic views; the KKK was thus able to spread out of the south and through the mid-west (and even into some parts of the north).
Another answer:
Definitely not. The KKK has never been tied to any political party, but is today described as a "far right" group (which would tie it to a certain wing of the Republican Party). However, the KKK has, from its beginning, been a racist group with no significant goals beyond extreme endorsement for a particular class of people. It is officially recognized as a "hate group".
What does KKK stand for and what is it about?
The Klan stood for white supremacy, anti-immigration, Christianity, the Democratic Party, National Prohibition, the purity of womanhood, and patriotism. It used violence to intimidate those it opposed.

no, the KKK killed pretty much every black person in sight, they were merciless
What happened after the KKK ended?
They crawled out from underneath their rocks and started all over again by holding rallies, persecuting people of different colour, burning crosses and all other kinds of really horrid and mainly stupid deeds, made sure their little children would follow in their footsteps with the same prejudices and hatred in their hearts.
They still exist, but are a little more afraid to rear their ugly (hooded) heads because in this day and age not too many people will stand for their garbage.!!

There are most likely more MU fans, than KU fans because Missouri has a larger population than Kansas does. I'm not sure...that just seems like the logical answer.
